Of course, the reason why these green soldiers are equipped with small bows on a large scale is because most of them were former guardsmen of the Ming Dynasty.
And after they surrendered to the Qing court, the Qing court didn't bother to replace the weapons of these green camps!
The Qing army raided the formation, and the people wailed.
People kept getting hit by arrows and died tragically.
Several Qing soldiers came with spears, and after a tentative charge, two civilians were strung together. The scene was extremely horrifying.
The people are getting more and more panicked!
Facing the ferocious green soldiers of the Qing army, the people really had almost no power to fight back.
Seeing that the Qing army was chasing them, the Xia family's guards became confused. Some even abandoned their master's family and fled on horseback.
"Come back! Come back everyone!"
"The protective master and his wife have arrived in Macau, and each of them will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
Xia Haikang shouted like crazy, trying to call his nursing home back.
But it has no effect at all!
It's true that the reward he promised is a lot, but it must be spent with life!
Fortunately, the Xia family usually treated their servants fairly well, and there were some servants who felt grateful for their master's kindness and did not turn around and run away, but continued to protect the Xia family's team.
Xia Haikang ordered loudly.
"So no more money, throw it away, throw it all away!"
"Let's ride fast!"
"..."
However, the Qing army's pursuit was quite rapid.
The fleeing people were quickly dispersed by the Qing cavalry, and the mountains and plains were filled with collapsed and crying people.
A Qing soldier passed by on horseback, and a sharp saber slashed a fleeing civilian from the waist and abdomen.
Blood and guts were sprayed everywhere!
"kill!"
"Kill the rioters!"
"..."
The ferocious Qing army continued to charge and slaughter the people who showed no resistance.
A squire fled on horseback and was stabbed to death by a Qing soldier chasing him.
A woman hugged the body of her child, knelt on the ground and broke down crying.
But in the next moment, an arrow missed and penetrated her head, and the crying stopped abruptly.
The endless wilderness was filled with corpses in various forms of death.
A small river next to it has also been dyed red with blood, turning into a veritable river of blood.
Many people jumped into the river and tried to swim across the other side to escape, but as soon as they entered the water, arrows were shot down one after another.
Flowers of blood bloomed on the river!
Corpses floated on the water, looking like the hell of Hell.
At this moment, several tall warships suddenly appeared at the end of the river.
On the mast of the warship, the flag of the Ming Dynasty was flying high!
Boom! Boom!
The next moment, the sound of cannons resounded.
The gun windows on the side of the warship spit out thick smoke!
Cannonballs were fired one after another at the place where the Qing cavalry was densely packed.
The shells bounced forward as they hit the ground, turning several Qing soldiers, including men and horses, into stumps.
In an instant, the originally arrogant arrogance of the Qing army was suppressed!
Facing the Ming warships traveling up the river, the Qing army no longer dared to pursue and kill the people unscrupulously, but began to gather and prepare for war.
Qing cavalry came on horseback, passed near the river, and then fired arrows at the warship in the center of the river.
From time to time, there is the sound of arrows falling on the deck of the ship!
The cannons on the sides roared, and the musketeers fired volley after round.
The Qing cavalry who were riding by the river were hit and fell off their horses. They either died on the spot or let out bursts of miserable howls.
The Qing army saw that they could not take advantage, and under the firepower blockade of the Ming army, it was difficult for them to continue to massacre and plunder the people.
He immediately turned his horse and left, choosing to retreat neatly!
The Qing army receded like a tide, and the Ming army's warships docked and began to send out manpower to pick up and gather the fleeing people on the shore.
Wang Youcai stood on the bow of the ship, looked at the battlefield, and sighed heavily.
What happened today is not accidental, it has happened almost every day during this period!
The people fled, the Qing army pursued them, the Ming army sent a navy to respond, and the Qing army retreated...
It seems to have become a routine!
These days, a large number of people have poured into Hong Kong and Macau, but even more people have died under the knife of the Qing army.
"Lead the people back to Macau. The imperial court has a large number of sea ships in Macau, which can take the people out to sea at any time."
Wang Youcai opened his mouth and ordered.
"promise!"
The ordering soldiers follow the orders and do it.
Wang Youcai's adjutant asked.
"Lord Guard, do we want to continue heading north?"
Wang Youcai waved his hand and said.
"The Qing army has set up water forts and forts to defend the navy in front, so there is no need to go any further!"
…
On the other side, Wang Fuzhi and others, supported by the Zhoushan Rebel Army, had left the Qiantang River and headed east toward the Zhoushan Islands.
Standing at the bow of the boat, the three of them looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.
“I’m going to sea now, but I don’t know when I’ll be able to return home!”
Gu Yanwu said with emotion in his tone.
Wang Euzhi looked towards the mainland, but his heart was full of bitterness.
He had no good impressions of foreign regimes like the Manchus and Qing Dynasty. Whenever he saw his money-rat tailed hair ornament, he would feel a deep sense of shame in his heart.
In response, he vowed that he would never serve in the Qing Dynasty for the rest of his life!
But he also felt that since he had never received a salary from the Ming Dynasty, it was enough to be able to stay in the Qing Dynasty without serving as an official.
I didn’t expect that at this age, I would be forced to embark on the road of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty!
Mad, what a complete loser!
On the other hand, Huang Zongxi on the side looked calm, looking at the open sea, thinking about how to write the preface to "Records of Visits to Ming Yi" that he had been thinking about for a long time.
Zhao Erhu on the side laughed out loud when he heard Gu Yanwu's words.
"Don't worry, sir, it will only be a matter of time, sooner or later, with His Majesty's talent and strategy to regain the Central Plains and repeat the great feat of Emperor Taizu in expelling the Tartars."
Gu Yanwu opened his mouth to explore.
"I wonder if the Ming Dynasty now has a corresponding plan to counterattack the Central Plains?"
Zhao Erhu shook his head and said.
"I have no idea!"
"Strategic matters will be decided by His Highness the Supervisor!"
"For a warrior like me, all I have to do is obey orders!"
Gu Yanwu stopped talking.
On the other hand, Wang Fuzhi asked.
"I wonder what His Royal Highness wants us to do when he invites us to Luzon?"
Zhao Erhu said.
"His Royal Highness Jianguo thought about the reasons for the collapse of the previous Ming Dynasty and felt that the problem might be at the ideological level!"
"Since the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty, once in Yashan and once in Jiashen, China has already been destroyed by both!"
"His Royal Highness Jianguo has made one point clear, that is, there must be something wrong with Neo-Confucianism, and it can no longer continue to exist as the world's most prominent school."
"But in order to rectify people's hearts, clarify etiquette, and cultivate virtue, His Highness Jian Guo summoned the most learned people from all over the world to jointly compile "New Confucianism"."
"Replace Neo-Confucianism with "New Confucianism" and make it the world's preeminent school!"
Huang Zongxi smiled and nodded.
"There is indeed a big problem with science!"
"At that time, Duke Yangming once publicly refuted Neo-Confucianism and founded the school of Xin Xue. It is a pity that Xin Xue failed to eliminate the orthodox status of Neo-Confucianism."
